Slime Baff, Gelli Baff and SnoBall Battle Packs from Zimpli Kids

Christmas stockings are such a fun part of Christmas. They represent the first taste of Christmas Day, as you awake to find your stocking filled with goodies at the end of your bed. Every year I try to find some cheap and cheerful, fun and interesting items to pop into the kids' stockings. Little bits and bobs that will bring a smile to their faces. Zimpli Kids do a range of products that make great stocking fillers that I know will be a hit with my son Freddy and my grandchildren.

The award winning Gelli Baff and Slime Baff ranges provide an opportunity for children to enjoy some sensory play as they experience and enjoy the different textures of the products. The powders are added to water to create lots of gooey, slimy fun. Perfect for bath time or for play time, the slimes can be used for imaginative games. At Halloween we put lots of plastic toys such as bugs, severed fingers, spiders, rats, body parts and skeletons into a cauldron of Gelli Slime and let the children explore. It was a great way to enjoy the product. I'm sure I can think of some festive uses for the products too. The kids love getting hands on and getting messy with the goo!

The SnoBall Battle Packs make a realistic looking snowy substance, so even if we don't get a white Christmas, we can still enjoy making and throwing snowballs. And as an added bonus, we won't get cold hands!

Zimpli Kids products are 100% safe for kids and unlike some ready-made slimes, contain no boron or boric acid. They are also fully biodegradable making them safe for the environment. Even the glitter used in the Glitter range is biodegradable. Gelli Baff comes with a dissolver to turn it back into a liquid for washing away, whereas the Gelli Slime dissolves straight into water for easy disposable.

With products starting at just £4.99, they are well priced and great value for money, providing lots of play value and fun for kids this Christmas.

Snowballing in July #snoballsinsummer

Snowball fights are always a lot of fun in the winter (if we get snow) but the downside is that you get freezing cold and soaked through. So what about bringing the fun of snowballing to the summer months? This is exactly what Zimpli Kids, the makers of Gelli Baff, have done with their new Snoball product, which allows you to have all the fun of snowballing without the need for winter weather.

The Snoball Battle Pack includes four 25g bags of powder that when added to water turn into a realistic looking, mouldable snow-like substance. Each bag makes 15 snowballs, so you get 60 snowballs altogether for some summer snowballing fun.

The Snoballs are 100% bio-degradable, stain free and are non-irritant. So playtime is safe and fun!

Freddy couldn't wait to have a go with the Snoballs. We made up one of the packets and had a good bucketful of the stuff to have a snowball fight in the sunshine. The 'sno' is soft and gooey so doesn't make a solid ball like real snow can, so they are completely safe to throw and won't cause any harm to whoever gets pelted!

It really is good fun to have something safe to throw around, but with the same appeal of a snowball. It is less wet and messy than having a water fight, but equally fun. There is also a real novelty factor to having a snowball fight in summer!

Afterwards you can collect up the snow and put it in your general waste dustbin or leave it to degrade naturally and wash away. It is harmless to the garden.

It is a really fun product that allows you to enjoy snowball fights all year round! You can find the Snoball Battle Pack on Amazon and in Toys R Us, currently priced at £4.99 for a 60 SnoBall Battle Pack. Perfect for kids' parties or family summertime fun!
